Golden Buzzer: Musa Motha's INSPIRING act WOWS Simon Cowell | Semi-Finals | AGT: Fantasy League 2024

[@TabethaAurochs]

Musa didn't overcome his disability, he transcended it. This is so much more than dance... I can't put it into words. It's so beautiful. ❤❤❤

[@jai2kai]

Beautifully said! I tear up every time I see this young man dance. Sensational and inspiring!!

[@citrusella-nomorecraptions]

I'm disabled. What's with AGT and its KZbin commenters treating disability like a) something you have to "transcend", and b) something that just makes you ✨ so beautiful and wonderful and superhuman ✨? We are normal people, and we're not all trying to shed the disability like it's a dirty word. Some of us are talented. I rarely see even the most amazing abled acts get their act described in the screaming-crying-throwing-up-so-beautiful way people love to describe disabled acts.

[@Wondorawoman]

​@citrusella-nomorecraptions most disabled are not capable of moving, dancing, and having energy like this young man. Musa may not have had this ability before his amputation, but gained the confidence to learn after. So any disabled child or adult can learn. People are amazed because despite of his disability they know loves what he does and knows that it makes him feels normal.

[@citrusella-nomorecraptions]

​@@Wondorawoman What you are describing is the textbook definition of inspiration p*rn, a word coined by Stella Young, a disabled person who gave a TED Talk on the subject, to describe this kind of thing. Being amazed we exist and that we enjoy existing is incredibly patronizing. Making assumptions about what other disabled people can do based on what one disabled person "can learn" to do is disingenous--it's like saying if some people are Olympic/Paralympic athletes then we ALL can be Olympic/Paralympic athletes. Plenty of disabled people move, dance, and have energy--some of us do have less but to say "most" of us can't do any of the things you listed is just inaccurate. We're 15% of the world's population (that's like a billion people!), not a monolith. Being amazed we did something "despite" our disabilities is something abled people often tack onto us. Assuming we do it to "feel normal" is something tacked onto a lot of us. Having the fact a disabled person is doing it drive your feelings about the act means you are not judging the act based on the TALENT but on the fact you're amazed a disabled person even got onstage and that is PATRONIZING. The circumstances of Simon's golden buzzer feel steeped in this extremely common and TIRING way of seeing disabled acts. From a talent standpoint, while I won't say I didn't enjoy this particular performance (I thought it was better than last week's at least), he's not even the best amputee dancer I've seen (though it's possible the one I'm thinking of that's better had the advantage of working with a very skilled choreographer). By the standards you've set, people should be amazed I do anything at all since I learned everything I know and gained every bit of confidence I have after I became disabled (because I was born disabled). People should be amazed I wake up in the morning. People should be amazed about all the things I do "despite" my disability (I don't do anything despite my disability, I do it in concert with my disability, because working to shed a permanent part of me all the time would be an exhausting thing to have to keep up--I am proud to be disabled). That's patronizing. I don't want to say you're ablesplaining because I do not know whether you're nondisabled, but the tone of your comment is indistinguishable from ablesplaining. It repeats the same tired inspiration p*rn notions at me and assumes I as a disabled person have never heard anyone say these things. TL;DR: I'm sorry, but no.

@@citrusella-nomorecraptions I totally get what you are saying and love that you are willing to spend the time and energy to educate. Thank you. I will always strive to be teachable because there is so much to learn in our world. Blessings to you.

This is proof Musa needs to WIN, please USA vote for him, I’m not being bias because I’m also South African 🇿🇦 and can’t vote, but because he deserves it. Other groups in the final have won, I think someone who hasn’t should win.

He shattered my heart into two pieces with the sheer beauty of Musa Motha's dance. He truly deserves to win the show, and I firmly believe it's within his reach.

I can't stop crying out of excitement.😭❤️❤️

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

Musa is undoubtedly one of the best dancers these Got Talent shows has ever had, Simon, I completely agree with you on pressing that Golden Buzzer on him! It was a truly outstanding performance! We’ll see you in the finals next week my friend, Congratulations!

[@coachgeo]

RE: "Best dancer" LOL... not by a long shot. There has been far better. Have worked with similar amputation athlete ..... near exact in fact as well as others with different limitations. Reality.... He is just an OK dancer.... How he has adapted to his amputation is good..... He is also an inspiration by his tenacity to not play victim but to instead DANCE. - Dont know who did the choreography.. it was only OK.... audience/viewers could appreciate and respect. the dancem but mostly because of his built in insperation as an amputee... otherwise the story in the dance choreography was not decipherable to the average observer; if their even was one... granted that is a criticism of most choreography of last decade plus. - His technique as a dancer is also only "OK" as well. Judging by his dance skills he has not been serious about dance training for very long. He will get better. His lines are ruff... there is much more extension of his lines and curves in him.

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

@@coachgeoI think you’re jealous that he’s much better of a dancer than you’ll ever be! He is a true inspiration of a man and he deserves that Golden Buzzer!
